Parish School of Religion (PSR)

St. Mark Parish School of Religion (PSR) supports parents in educating their children in the Catholic faith and helping them to live out that faith within a believing community. The objective of our PSR is that every child complete each year of the program with the religious knowledge appropriate to his/her age. Previously called CCD or Catechism, our PSR currently serves over 700 students, 1st through eleventh grade.

Our PSR program provides opportunities for our children to grow in awareness of the presence of God in their lives through instruction, celebration of the sacraments, and by participating in liturgies and prayer services that are designed for the students. To coordinate a program of this size, much work has to be done and a lot of help is needed. We are grateful to the many workers who, by giving of their time and sharing their talents, contribute to the success of the program. Because religious education is the concern of all the parishioners, we ask everybody to pray for the success of our PSR program and also to get actively involved in helping in some way.

We need teachers, aides, babysitters, office workers (daytime and evening), volunteer coordinators, ground monitors and parking lot attendants. The PSR volunteers work under the supervision of the PSR principals. Mrs. Flory Reynolds is principal over grades 1st through 8th for both the Summer I, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 Noon session and the Summer II, 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. session; and Mrs. Patricia Sanchez is principal over the High School PSR which is held one Sunday a month, starting in August, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. St. Mark also offers a home school program for all grades.
